Not a bug. Please remove all references to perl-core from your world file (if necessary, replace them with the corresponding virtuals). emerge --deselect --ask $(qlist -IC 'perl-core/*')
perl-core/* is not in my world set (or any set, for that matter): $ grep perl-core /var/lib/portage/* $
Are you using any overlays? If yes, do any ebuilds there depend on perl-core/* ? (they shouldn't, it triggers a repoman warning now) Please add full "emerge --info" and "emerge -uDNavt world" output
Nothing in any overlays as far as I can tell (there are a few references in sunrise but I haven't emerged anything that depends on them). emerge -uDNavt world: ------------------------- These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Manually stripping perl-core/* from perl-cleaner's emerge command line resulted in a successful run: $ emerge -1 $(for i in $PACKAGES; do echo $i; done | grep -v ^perl-core/) $ perl-cleaner --all $ echo $? 0 Assuming the missing ebuilds are intentional, this looks like the same issue as bug 518660. If it's not easy to fix programmatically, maybe perl-cleaner should output a note about the problem if it doesn't do so already? (if it does, I may have overlooked it in the course of restarting emerge to add MAKEOPTS) Though if all perl-core ebuilds are now intended to be covered by virtuals, it seems like it should be simple for perl-cleaner to just filter them out itself.
When perl-cleaner fails, it prints two command suggestions. One is the one I I gave you (which didnt work). Did you try the other one as well (before finding your own solution)?
As I mentioned, I didn't see any suggestions printed by perl-cleaner -- this may be because I interrupted it after realizing I'd forgotten to set MAKEOPTS and re-ran the emerge command manually. Looking at the perl-cleaner source, I think the second suggestion (emerge -uD1a $(qlist -IC 'virtual/perl-*')) would have worked as well, assuming all of the perl-cleaner virtual/perl-* merges were in fact updates and not just reinstalls (which I think was the case but I can't recall for certain).

This should be fixed in perl-cleaner-2.17, which runs the command automatically before doing the actual cleaning.
Strangely enough I can't seem to reproduce the problem when upgrading a second machine from perl-5.18 to perl-5.20 even with perl-cleaner-2.16, but that change sounds like it should resolve the problem if it does recur. Thanks for the fix.
